Spacebar Quick Preview

MakerVault’s quick preview works like macOS Quick Look. Select a file and press Space to open a full-screen preview overlay.

  1. Click a file to select it.
  2. Press Space to open the preview.
  3. Press Space or Escape to close it.

The preview overlay shows:

  • File preview — The file rendered natively (for supported types) or a placeholder icon
  • Metadata sidebar — Filename, size, type, tags, notes, and embedded metadata
  • Open button — “Open in [App]” to launch the file in its default application

Previewable files also show a smaller inline preview directly in the file detail panel on the right sidebar, so you can see a preview without going full-screen.

See Supported Previews for the full list of what renders natively vs. what shows a placeholder.
